Special Delivery – Marc Summers’ Mystery Magical Special
Summery from Wikipedia
Summers' character and three young children (friends of his, all of whom seem to play themselves) arrive at a mysterious mansion after they get a flat tire. Within, they find, among other things, heads falling from the ceiling, Burton performing card tricks, and even a bizarre demon-like villain character who engages in a prolonged swordfight with Burton. At the end of this fight, Burton performs another display of his talents, wherein he reveals that the demon character never existed, and that the entire ordeal was, in his words, "just a trick". Afterward, the characters leave the mansion, where they meet another lost traveler, Stan Allen, magician, looking for a phone (he had run out of gas), whom they wryly tell to "help [himself]".

Marc Summers’ Mystery Magical Special

Summers’ Mystery Magical Special

Happy Halloween everyone! As
some of you may know this is my favorite holiday so naturally I wanted to write
about something spooky and what better than Marc Summers' Mystery Magical
Special!
Most of us know and love Marc from Double Dar but how many of you knew that he was an amateur magician?
After realizing that they
didn’t have a spare they make their way to the creepy old house where they meet
John Astin (Gomez Addams) who tells them to, “help themselves.”
Inside they find the usual
dust, spider webs, skeletons, heads falling from the ceiling, and various other
spooky things. They also encounter a few magicians along the way namely Tina
Lenert and Lance Burton.
Tina’s charming performance makes you forget that she’s the only one performance and Lance’s showdown with the bizarre demon-like villain ends in a swoard fight with a suprizing ending!
This Halloween themed special
was originally produced in 1986, but continued air, often multiple times, every
October for several years afterward.
