As an entertainer, an educator, an activist, and a volunteer, this Westport resident is touching a variety of lives in a variety of ways — and she’s garnering some significant acclaim and recognition for it.

The once shy 12-year-old girl being bullied at school has grown into one of the most accomplished illusionists in America.

And her efforts to improve the lives of others goes far beyond the stage.

In 2013, Dillies’ world-class mastery of magic and illusion made her the first female recipient of a Milbourne Christopher Award from the Society of American Magicians, the industry’s equivalent of an Academy Award.

In 2009, her magic talents earned her the International Magicians Society’s Merlin Award as Female Illusionist of the Year. She has also earned awards from the Dove Foundation for Family Programming in 2005, and a Parent’s Choice Award that same year.
