One of his relatives had a webpage dedicated to Irv, but it may be long gone.
According to rumors, Phil Willmarth has all the material to write up Irv's magic. Might contact him.

I was at Phil's house a few months ago and he showed me some of the Irv Weiner material. He does have plans for a book, but it may still be a while because of other projects. Although if enough people bug Phil...
