Magic Wands es una creación de 2004-2005 del artista contemporáneo más reconocido de la India, Subodh Gupta. La obra combina a la perfección un enfoque escultórico con una estética de instalación para crear una declaración sobre su herencia y temas universales. Desde la primera instalación de Gupta en 1996, "Veintinueve mañanas", el artista se ha visto impulsado a incorporar a su obra objetos cotidianos y utilitarios. Bicicletas, varitas, sartenes, todo ello juega un papel importante en la obra de Gupta.

Gupta está ampliamente considerado como el artista indio contemporáneo por excelencia.
