Zee Deneck - The Pickpocket Illusionist

Zee – The Pickpocket Illusionist

Probably the only pickpocket at sea — a truly original, hilarious act combining charm, skill, and comedy, guaranteed to amaze and entertain audiences of all ages.

Born into a circus family in the former Czechoslovakia, Zee began his career as a world-traveling juggler and later became a headline performer at the legendary Moulin Rouge in Paris. Over time, he evolved into a comedy magician and pickpocket artist, mastering his craft in eight languages, including Mandarin Chinese.

Zee’s signature Pickpocket Comedy Show blends illusion, humor, and audience participation in a fast-paced performance that keeps guests laughing — and checking their pockets! During the finale, Zee invites guests on stage and demonstrates his extraordinary pickpocketing skills in real time, creating a moment of pure astonishment and laughter.

To add even more value for cruise guests, Zee offers a unique onboard workshop:

“How NOT to Get Pickpocketed” — a 45-minute, entertaining and practical session teaching passengers how to stay safe in busy port cities. This makes his act not only great entertainment but also a valuable, educational experience for travelers.
