hello and welcome to my hopefully new theory. I was rereading the old DC chapters when i came upon one that stood out among the rest, namely chapters 487-490. the basis behind this is that in all other arcs gosha like to tie up all loose ends. But this arc has two lot points left hidden, where the old magician went and what exactly the trick was about. it is unlike gosho to just have a major character in a plot (a one who doesn't resemble old characters at that) to just have disappeared. obviously he wouldnt have left Japan so you think if he was unimportant he would 1. been revealed to have been killed and hidden by this cases victim, or 2 been found dead by the police of old age or something while looking for his book. this all leads me to believe that he may have been captured by the B.O
At this point you probably think i'm crazy, why would the B.O want some random magician. But you have to consider that this guy was apperantly a master in his field and that the B.O have captured a programmer before which in my opinion makes just about as much sense as a magician. And since this is the DC universe when people disappear they dont stay missing without reason.Which brings me neatly the my next point, the trick. The actual trick is never shown but it is made out to be somehow be a trick of pure evil. Also pay attention to the name of the trick devil's REVIVAL. why this trick might have to do with it might be inconsequential but there is at least some possibility that its important. And that about wraps up my theory, please tell me what u think. Possibbly well be seeing a familiar old man in a future B.O arc
.
Yeah, I've noticed him too. He's been mentioned a few times too many (not to mention his *sudden* disappearance (~whooo mysterious atmosphere~) to not be important to the plot imo. I was thinking along the same lines, I wouldn't be surprised if we'd see him in the BO one of these days.

My suspicious random character(s) du jour are Kinoshita and Billy from Agasa's first love case (410-412) after Abs. pointed out they look exactly like the suspicious people who Akai had follow Yukiko and the detective boys during the darkness is a death trap case (417-419). See for yourself!
If anything, this means they are FBI agents or at least allies of Akai rather than antagonists...
Nice observation! I have been wondering for a long time who those guys exactly could be, but they certainly fit the bill! Plus it'd be a nice plot twist. *crosses fingers*

I don't know where I heard this from, I'm trying to remember, but didn't Akai's father work for the BO or something? Didn't he teach Vermouth how to disguise herself or something? And he was a magician....but somehow he died...so maybe they need a replacement?
That would be Toichi Kuroba, Kuroba Kaito aka Kaito Kid's father. The reference came from chap 573 btw. If you want more backstory on Kid and his father who was the previous Kid then see the Magic Kaito manga. It isn't clear how much of Magic Kaito is canon to DC, but the Magic Kaito Organization and Pandora probably aren't.
Toichi kuroba never belonged to the BO, it's only been said he taught Vermouth and Yukiko the tricks to disguise themselves well. And although I don't think Magic Kaito's storyline will be important in Detective Conan's plot (didn't Gosho say that in his latest interview or something?), but I believe Kaito is still looking for clues of the organization, as well as looking for the Pandora jewel. Otherwise he wouldn't go stealing things anymore.
I'm hoping though that Kaitou Kid will get involved in Conan's troubles somehow, especially since that "disappeared magician" lunarclaw was talking about passed the revue in DC.
