Giovanni Alecci

Sleight of Hand Legend

Think your phone, wallet, or watch is safe?

Think twice. 👀


🎩 Giovanni Alecci isn’t your average magician—he’s Germany’s most legendary show pickpocket. For over 30 years, he’s been stealing the spotlight (and occasionally your stuff) across Europe, using sleight of hand, humor, and jaw-dropping skill to teach one unforgettable lesson: you’re not as secure as you think.


📺 Featured on ZDF, Pro7, and even in front of top political figures (yes, he once pickpocketed a minister mid-demo), Giovanni transforms every stage into a security awareness masterclass disguised as pure entertainment.

Whether it’s bending forks in your hand or showing how easy it is to unlock a smartphone, his message is clear:


You Know Nothing (Yet)... about how vulnerable you really are.


Catch him live at Disrupt:ED Fest 2025—and maybe check your pockets while you’re at it. 🕵️‍♂️🎟️
