Another list? Yes.

Gosho Aoyama really likes to connect all his works (or those he was involved in) by the means of shared characters, objects and places, direct crossovers, name drops and other Easter Eggs. This is supposed to be a comprehensive list of all such things for your information and entertainment purposes - but consider it heavily work in progress for now - there's still tons of stuff missing.

Detective Conan...

... in Magic Kaito

Manga

If you thought Akako is unrealistic, wait until you see the magic of a 16-year-old using a gun without getting his parents into trouble and making Megure lose his job. In Chapter 23 and 24 (Magic Kaito Volume 4, Chapter 3 - 4), we get a tie-in story serving as a prequel to FILE.156 - 159 (Volume 16, File 6 - 9) of Detective Conan - the first meeting between Conan Edogawa and Kaitou Kid - with a pre-shrunken Shinichi Kudo and Kaitou Kid having a battle of wits while the latter is trying to take some jewels from the clock of a tower without knowing who their respective opponent is. Juzo Megure also had his debut in this series during this story. Furthermore, these chapters were adapted as a part of Episode 219: The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid from the Anime of Detective Conan and Episode 6: Black Star of Magic Kaito 1412 later on.

I hope his fee is accordingly. Gosho is rich enough for that. In the third Omake in Magic Kaito Volume 4, after the "filming" of the 28th chapter of Magic Kaito has wrapped, the meta-fictional "child actor" of Kenta Connery is said of having to go to another shoot right now, which is revealed to be Detective Conan, with Kenta's actor also playing the role of Conan Edogawa.

"My son... Please do this absolutely dangerous thing for me, a thing of the kind that I will try to prevent you from continuing in the following story arc." Chapter 29 - 30 (Magic Kaito Volume 5, Chapter 1 - 2) end with a cliffhanger that functions as another tie-in with Detective Conan, this time FILE.731 - 733 (Volume 70, File 2 - 4). Kaito's mother Chikage Kuroba - Ex-Phantom Lady and globetrotter extraordinaire - sends him an SMS about some other fake dealers associated with President Gozu, who she never managed to bring down in the past - leading directly into Kid's appearance in the aforementioned Files and his try to uncover the schemes of Shishihiko Tarumi and Masanosuke Hanamura involving Ryōma's treasures.

It's got a skirt-rising-function now, to the visible und understandable dismay of Aoko. I wonder whether Agasa approves. Kaito tells Aoko Nakamori in Chapter 34 (Magic Kaito Volume 5, Chapter 6) that "Jii-chan's professor friend" fixed his bike after it was damaged pretty badly in an accident... This not only alludes to a certain scene in Episode 2: Blue Birthday of Magic Kaito 1412, but implies that no less than Professor Hiroshi Agasa repaired Kaito's bike. This Easter Egg is, in return, further developed in FILE.997 (Volume 94, File 5) of Detective Conan later on.

Gosho seems to be one parsimonious fella. There's a meta gag in the fourth Omake included in Magic Kaito Volume 5 again, with a joke on the expense of the similiarity between the house of Akako Koizumi and the Kudo family house. Kogoro Mouri's "actor" also seems to double as the demon Lucufer.

Magic Kaito 1412 Anime

Maybe a hand stunt double had to replace Yusaku and Conan's actor didn't have time for the shooting of this scene... In Opening 1 you can see Yusaku Kudo's hand writing while he got the idea to create the "KID" out of "1412" for a short moment. Furthermore, a key moment from Kaitou Kid's and Conan Edogawa's first meeting on the roof top of Haido City Hotel is recreated, without Conan being visible for some reason.

So, does that mean that... there is no floating timeline and they really don't age? During the flashback showing Touichi Kuroba's purported death in Episode 1: The Revived Phantom Thief Kid, one can see a Shinichi Kudo and a Ran Mouri look-alike respectively, seemingly supposed to be their high school versions - which of course is totally impossible, considering that this was eight years ago.

Another one would be: How does he hide this from Ai? Or is she in on this...? Konosuke Jii hands some new gadgets to Kaito Kuroba at the beginning of Episode 2: Blue Birthday, which were seemingly made by a "professor friend" of his, while a yellow VW Beetle leaves in front of the Blue Parrot Pool Bar, heavily implying this friend to be Professor Hiroshi Agasa. This joke was taken over by the Manga in Chapter 34 (Magic Kaito Volume 5, Chapter 6) and continued in FILE.997 (Volume 94, File 5) of Detective Conan, so... Does that mean that Agasa creates Kid's gadgets too - chronologically even before he made those for Conan? Is he some kind of mad scientist supporting young people in their confrontations with each other for his own insane amusement? From where does he get the time to construct all of this? I have so many questions.

Also with the hue and brightness decreased a lot. In Episode 6: Black Star, the indirect first confrontation between Shinichi Kudo and Kaitou Kid from Chapter 23 and 24 (Magic Kaito Volume 4, Chapter 3 - 4) of Magic Kaito (previously animated as Detective Conan Episode 219: The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid) is completely remade (with some technological updates) and slightly extended (from Kaito's point of view). It also serves as the debut of Juzo Megure in Magic Kaito 1412.

He seems awfully unhappy about being reduced to a side character. Episode 10: The Phantom Lady and_Ryoma's Treasure and Episode 11: Kid and Conan’s Ryoma Treasure Illusion revolve around the first so-called "perspective flip crossover" (well... I call it that), showing well known confrontations between Conan Edogawa and Kaitou Kid from Detective Conan from the latter's point of view. This one adapts the case from Detective Conan FILE.731 - 733 / Episode 627 - 628, directly following the adaption of the "Phantom Lady" story from Magic Kaito, building a coherent story out of the tie-in Gosho created in both Mangas. This also makes it the debut of Shintaro Chaki, Jirokichi Suzuki, Conan Edogawa, Ran Mouri (if you ignore her anachronistic cameo from Episode 1), Sonoko Suzuki and Yukiko Kudo (by virtue of her appearing in Conan's memory as her movie role of Ryōma's sister).

As if the chronology wouldn't be convoluted enough as is. Ending 2 contains some recaps of past events in Kaito's life he experienced up to this point (the first half of the series), including moments from the Detective Conan movies featuring Kaitou Kid, like the hang-glider/parachute hunt from the middle of Movie 8 ("Magician of the Silver Sky"), the ride in the rollercoaster during the finale of Movie 10 ("The Private Eyes' Requiem") and Kid flying side by side with the air ship in Movie 14 ("The Lost Ship in the Sky"), implying that they've already happened in the meantime (i.e. sometime before Episode 13: Stay Away From Him) in the continuity of Magic Kaito 1412.

Excalibur...

... in Detective Conan

Anime

"Maybe we can get some of its fame if we appear in it..." There's a direct crossover between Detective Conan and Gosho's old one-shot right in the twelfth and (so far) last OVA. It's basically the plot of Excalibur expanded by appearances from Conan Edogawa, Hiroshi Agasa, Ai Haibara, Kogoro Mouri, Wataru Takagi, Kazunobu Chiba and the Detective Boys, similar to how OVAs 1 and 4 adapted chapters of Magic Kaito.

"We just wanted to see what our Mangaka is doing nowadays." Minae, Kenta and Akira later appear in the Anime Original Episode 707: The Framed Great Detective in a brief cameo.
