Gargamel's magic egg is an object that Gargamel had once created in the cartoon show episode "The Magic Egg". It was made for the purpose of granting anything that its owner had asked for by simply tapping it. The magic egg is based on one from the comic book story "The Egg And The Smurfs", which turned out to be a normal chicken egg that somehow was given the power to grant wishes to whoever tapped on it. Near the end of the story, the chicken hatched from the egg and thus it had lost its magic power.
