A few years ago, it was mentioned that Jim Steinmeyer put together a "secret book" of magic, illusions and ideas and distributed it to a select couple of clients (8 in total). I'd love to know if anyone knows more about this book, who might have received one, and what type of material it included. Here is Jim's mention of the book:

Feel free to PM as well if anyone has info and would like to discuss it privately.

I think I've got it somewhere will try to track it down.

Does anyone have this book? Please PM me if you do.

I just asked Jim about it will see if he responds. Will circle back.

Thanks, please let us know what you hear back.

“A few years ago, I put together some material for several specific
performers I was working with. I think that must be what the "rumor" is.
Wasn't sold. Was just to serve a purpose and to get a few idea out there.
Not a marketed book in any sense of the word. But it sounds better to
say "secret unreleased book," doesn't it?”

Thank you. Might be a long shot, but I wonder if anyone who received this material would be able to give an idea of what some of the effects were. Also, does anyone know who might have received this? Thanks again for sharing.

It’s not uncommon for designers to offer latest
effects to clients to consider purchasing.
I do this myself, Jim, Don Wayne, many others.
If you are curious beyond what he stated above,
Advice would be to contact Jim directly.
