Magic Wands est une création de 2004-2005 de l'artiste contemporain le plus renommé d'Inde, Subodh Gupta. L'œuvre associe harmonieusement une approche sculpturale et une esthétique de l'art de l'installation pour créer une déclaration sur son héritage et ses thèmes universels. Depuis la première installation de Gupta en 1996, "Twenty-nine Mornings", l'artiste a été poussé à incorporer des objets quotidiens et utilitaires dans son travail. Vélos, baguettes, casseroles, tous jouent un rôle important dans l'œuvre de Gupta.

Le travail de Gupta reflète souvent les transformations économiques en Inde et donne un aperçu de la vie de ceux dont la vie est changée par l'émergence du pays en tant que puissance économique mondiale. Gupta est largement collectionné en tant qu'artiste contemporain indien de premier plan. Ses œuvres font partie des collections permanentes du MFA de Houston et du Victoria and Albert Museum de Londres, parmi beaucoup d'autres.
