Although the mainstream Mormon church abandoned polygamy over 100 years ago, many splinter groups across Utah still practice plural marriage. One such group is the Kingston Clan, known to members as The Order. The Kingstons live in Salt Lake City and run their religion like a secretive business empire.

VICE meets Joe Robinson, a young man banished from The Order and trying to build a new life around his true passion: being a magician.
