The life of a creative project

This newsletter is a bit special as it launches a new concept, a new idea. About 1 to 2 times a month (unless we forget!), you will receive a newsletter reporting the news of the life of the Monkeys in their Auvergne region! Don’t worry, we won’t talk about our meal schedules or our movie outings (unless they are related to magic, of course).

You will know everything about the life of the Monkeys, or the “insides” as sports journalists so aptly say. We will tell you about the progress of our projects and some of our quirky ideas. We will talk about our latest performances, the latest gimmicks we have bought and tested, the latest books we have read... In short, you will know everything!

But don’t worry, we won’t spam you with endless emails! We know very well that receiving 15 emails a day advertising the latest revolutionary gimmick is quite annoying! In this newsletter, nothing like that. It will only contain news about the life of the Monkeys and nothing more! By the way, if you want us to cover specific topics in these emails (our working methods, how we create our books, how we select our projects ...), feel free to share your ideas and wishes by email: info@3monkeys-publishing.com  

At the time of writing these words, it is late August 2022. Summer is coming to an end, but know that we have not been idle (despite this titanic heat. I even have drops of sweat falling on my keyboard). We have spent the last two months setting up the next two projects. The first will be released at the end of September and will be completely new! We love magic books, but we wanted to diversify! That’s why we have launched this brand new magical adventure! You will learn more in the coming weeks unless a black cat brings us bad luck!

The second project is certainly the biggest we’ve undertaken since the beginning of the Three Monkeys adventure. We worked in collaboration with a French Artist of incredible kindness and creativity. This project will include not only a book but also additional accessories. Everything will be packaged in a magnificent box with a coppery look. Needless to say, besides the usual print files for a book (interior pages, photos, cover...), we had to design a box and all the visual elements for the accessories. Luckily, Camille Cassaigne helped us a lot with these elements. By the way, I sincerely think this is the most beautiful book we’ve ever made! The photos are sumptuous (thanks Pauline), the layout is, as always, quite original, and the cover is luxurious! In fact, in an upcoming newsletter, we’ll tell you more about our design team (Camille, Pauline...) because they’re working really hard! Meanwhile, stay tuned for more news on this project, see you at the end of October to discover it!   

To keep detailing our studious summer, and you’ve probably noticed, we set up a completely free loyalty program in our shop: the BANANA PLAN. The idea was simple: put ourselves in our customers’ shoes to find out what benefits they’d like. That’s how the BANANA PLAN was born. Every time you spend €1 in our shop, you’ll be credited with 1 banana. I see you coming: what can you do with bananas? A fruit salad, of course! Joking aside, the more bananas you have, the more you can convert them into vouchers valid throughout the shop, even on preorders! So, isn’t life sweet?

Finally, we continued planning the PRIVATE MAGIC DAYS, our magic event taking place on September 30 / October 1-2, 2022 in Clermont-Ferrand. We really can’t wait! Plus, rumor has it the new world champion of card magic will be there! But shh, it’s a secret... 

That’s it for this first Monkeys newsletter. Feel free to email us to let us know if you like this concept or if we should drop the idea (even though deep down, we love it!):

Anyway, we’ll have to leave you now: Florian has a plane to catch to Peru, Victor needs to pack his bag for a camping trip, and Thomas has to hit the road, heading south of France! A busy little schedule to end this summer in style!
