I have fond memories of this airing just after arriving home from trick or treating. I wasn't familiar with Lance Burton at the time, only Marc Summers, and would love to revisit! I'm sure there's a ton of nostalgia and overlooked illusions packed into this childhood gem!
Never got to re-watch Mystery Magic Special, though in college (Boston, 2001-2003) my roommates and I discovered a buried cable channel from Nickelodeon channel, not unlike MTV2, which aired all of the original 80s programming: Double Dare, Super Sloppy Double Dare, Family Double Dare, Finders Keepers, Hidden Temple, and Guts among others.
We'd gather in the living room, not much different than as children (though probably made trivia drinking games, for lack of a Sundae Slide...) These shows really ought to be picked up by Paramount+ or Netflix. Marc Summers played a fun and special part twice in my younger years... hope he is well :)
