Dylan Is Ireland's only Doctor Of Magic Degree recipient and Masters Series Of Magic Degree recipient. he was recently awarded the title of the Best Close-up Magician in Ireland from the International Magicians Society in New York.

“It has been the honour of a lifetime,” Dylan said. “I was invited by private invitation to meet and perform for the President of Ireland Michael D Higgins for their annual Christmas tree lighting event in Dublin.

“Thank you, Mr President, and to your lovely wife Sabina for your personal invitation to attend, for your kindness, and well wishes. The feeling of walking around its grounds, and having the opportunity to get a tour of the building was an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“I stood on the shoulders of Irish history, and to be personally invited to stand and perform within Ireland's most sacred building gave me a feeling of nostalgia, reflection and remembrance of the importance of the history of our country. My mind reflected on some of the world's most famous people who walked through those hallways before me, it was beautiful to leave my footprint in their path, performing inside of Ireland's most sacred walls, was a feeling, and a moment I will never forget!”
