Blowing an egg will make the handling for silk-to-egg (Eggstraordinary eggsplanation in Tarbell 1) very difficult.
It's tricky to find the correct coloured eggs over here - although I believe TopSecretMagic.co.uk stock them. We needed the effect for a stage show a while back, and managed to source one eventually.
Whilst on the subject - please watch Lance Burton's performance of "Silk to Egg" on youtube. Far too many people rush through the first phase, and treat it like a cheap joke, but it's possible to give the first phase it's own space, and make it an astonishing moment all to itself.
Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash, and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever.
