Magic Wands ist eine 2004-2005 entstandene Kreation von Indiens bekanntestem zeitgenössischen Künstler Subodh Gupta. Das Werk verbindet nahtlos einen skulpturalen Ansatz mit einer Installationskunst-Ästhetik, um ein Statement zu seinem Erbe und universellen Themen zu schaffen. Seit Guptas erster Installation "Twenty-nine Mornings" aus dem Jahr 1996 treibt es den Künstler an, alltägliche Gebrauchsgegenstände in sein Werk einzubinden. Fahrräder, Stäbe und Pfannen spielen eine große Rolle in Guptas Werk.

Guptas Arbeiten spiegeln oft die wirtschaftlichen Veränderungen in Indien wider - und geben einen Einblick in das Leben derer, deren Leben sich durch den Aufstieg des Landes zu einer globalen Wirtschaftsmacht verändert. Gupta wird weithin als der herausragende zeitgenössische indische Künstler gesammelt. Seine Arbeiten sind unter anderem in den ständigen Sammlungen des MFA Houston und des Victoria and Albert Museum, London, vertreten.
