Proud had already won the 50m butterfly earlier in the week and backed up that success by touching the wall first in a time of 21:92sec. (Indian wrestlers strike gold)
"To finish in front of everyone to the wall, it really just hit me," said Proud.
"The final is always tense and I definitely felt the tension. For the final it's about getting every detail right.
"I tried my best to keep calm and as soon as I dive in the water takes over."
McEvoy had to settle for his third individual silver medal of the meet, whilst Magnussen added to his 100m freestyle gold with his first international 50m medal.
Australia's first gold medal of the night came from Daniel Tranter as he stormed to victory in the men's 200m individual medley in a new Games record time of 1min 57:72sec.
Scotland's Dan Wallace delighted the home crowd as he walked onto poolside in a kilt and proceeded to add silver to his 400m individual medley gold.
And there was a sixth medal of the meet for South African world champion Chad le Clos as he took bronze.
Georgia Davies became the second Welsh female swimmer to win gold at the Games in as many days in the women's 50m backstroke.
A day after Jazz Carlin broke Wales's 40-year drought in women's swimming in Glasgow, Davies came home in a Commonwealth Games record time of 27:56sec.
Lauren Quigley of England was just 0:13sec behind in second as Brooklyn Snodgrass added bronze for Canada.
However, Carlin had to settle for silver on Tuesday in the women's 400m freestyle as New Zealand's Lauren Boyle gained revenge for being beaten into second place in the 800m freestyle.
Triple world championship medallist Boyle broke Rebecca Adlington's Games record in a time of 4min 4:47sec to take gold ahead of Carlin.
Bronte Barratt claimed bronze for Australia as she denied Scotland's Hannah Miley a third medal of the meet by the slimmest of margins.
And a fine night for New Zealand was rounded off by Sophie Pascoe as she claimed her second gold of the Games in the women's para-sport 200m individual medley SM10.
Pascoe finished over four seconds clear of Australia's Katherine Downie in a time of 2min 27:24sec with Canada's Aurelie Rivard taking bronze.
