Question EGT and dead cut mag check

Does anyone have an explanation as to why the EGT rises when you cut one of the mags on a piston engine?

Explaining the loss of power, resulting in a drop in rpm is easy, but my instructor has me baffled as to the reason for the EGT increase.

Any answer, especially one so devilishly complex he'll be left speechless, will be gratefully received!
