Magic Wand's 'Pleasure as Art' Sculpture Now on View at the Erotic Heritage Museum

LAS VEGAS — Vibratex and Las Vegas’ Erotic Heritage Museum presented artist Dafne Blade’s “Pleasure as Art” Magic Wand sculpture earlier this month.

Vibratex, exclusive North American distributor of the Magic Wand brand, commissioned Blade to create the “Pleasure as Art” sculpture piece in 2021.

The "Pleasure as Art" contest winning sculpture will remain on display at The Harry Moheny Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas through the end of October. 

The sculpture makes use of 100 decommissioned wands and features an original painting that Mashable referred to as “not only stunning, but evocative of ‘Game of Thrones.’”

Addressing attendees at Las Vegas’ Erotic Heritage Museum at the Sept. 3 event, artist Dafne Blade offered an intimate look into their transformative experience developing the Magic Wand sculpture.

The audience included industry vets, academics, artists and museum goers, who listened to presentations about Blade’s personal journey and about the art piece’s evolution from concept to creation. 

Blade’s presentation was preceded by a historical retrospective from Dr. Lynn Comella, author of Vibrator Nation and Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies at UNLV.

Comella shared stories and examples of Magic Wand’s impact on society, noting that Blade’s creation was now part of that history.

A National Competition for Magic Wand Sculptures

Blade was the winner of a national competition that called on artists to design art using 100 inactive Magic Wands.

“I saw the competition notice and there was only one week before the deadline to submit,” Blade shared with event attendees. “I knew this was exactly what I wanted and needed, so I called my job and told them I wasn’t coming in that week.” 

Blade presented slides of their contest entry, which they’d submitted with just minutes to spare, along with a host of photos of the entire design and construction process – one that involved their whole family.

In order to stay on schedule, Blade called on their parents and siblings to help with construction of the massive sculpture.

“Dafne’s presentation was as fascinating as it was moving,” explained Shay Martin, owner of Vibratex and CMO of the Magic Wand brand. “It was such an amazing story, and I’m thrilled to have Dafne and their art as part of our brand’s legacy.”
