Two National Awards for magic, clowning, and juggling with feet: the attractions of the new edition of 'Jajejijojú'

Magic and humor come together again to fill this Sunday, June 22, at the Teatro Cervantes with solidarity. 'Jajejijojú' has introduced this Tuesday its 24th edition of the festival at the AC Hotel Málaga Palacio, where they reviewed their charitable journey that remains alive and full of hope. Magicians and comedians from all over the country will gather at the theater at 12:00 PM with the goal of helping hospitalized children. Tickets will be priced at 12 euros and the proceeds will go entirely to AVOI, the Association of Volunteers in Pediatric Oncology.

During the presentation, Ángel Idígoras, comedian and promoter of 'Jajejijojú'; Juan Carmona, president of AVOI; and Luis Mesa 'Luigi' and Juan Garrido, magicians and members of the Organizing Committee, all agreed that the main goal, as stated on their poster's slogan, is "to allow boys and girls to give smiles to the little ones who are hospitalized."

Ángel Idígoras highlighted the importance of the gala held on Saturday, June 21, at the Maternal and Child Hospital. The day before the show at the Teatro Cervantes, all the magicians and illusionists perform the same gala for the children who are hospitalized. "For me, it’s the most special gala. There are children who cannot come down to the auditorium and the magicians even go up to the rooms," Idígoras recounts.

Luis Mesa reviewed the trajectory of the magicians invited to the gala and highlighted their careers, emphasizing the high level present each year. 'Luigi' himself, humorously, presented the 'Jajejijojú' Special Award, a recognition given at the gala to illusionists who perform significant social and artistic work.

The gala will be hosted by magician Isaac Jurado and will feature a performance by Malabarian on the Rox, a circus duo who will perform two clown and antipodism acts, juggling with their feet. Meanwhile, magician Marcos Ortega will perform a number with his digital assistant AMPARO. Two national award winners, Mago Areson and Señor Pérez, will also be present.

The AVOI association does a great job in helping make the lives of hospitalized children more bearable. Juan Carmona, president of AVOI, expressed his gratitude during the presentation: "A child has to be a child always. I am very thankful to the sponsors who make this possible and to the audience that keeps coming every year."

This year, the 'Jajejijojú' festival is sponsored by the Municipality of Málaga, Málaga Procultura, Teatro Cervantes, AC Hotels By Marriott Málaga Palacio, Marisquería 'El Cenachero', and Macrun. Thanks to these contributions, the level of the gala continues to rise, and the best magicians and illusionists from the national scene will attend.

Magic and humor could not be missing in this presentation, where magician Juan Garrido performed a trick to surprise the attending public. Lastly, Idígoras concluded this presentation with emotion, remembering the reason why he keeps the enthusiasm for doing the gala every year: "The magicians still want to come, and the fun they bring to the audience continues to impact the hospitalized children."
