I believe the answer is:

hey presto

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'triumphant declaration' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'bemused tory sheep' is the wordplay.
'bemused' indicates an anagram.
'tory'+'sheep'='torysheep'
'torysheep' is an anagram of 'HEY-PRESTO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hey presto that I've seen before include "Cry from magicians" , "that's the trick" , "Abracadabra" , "Conjuror's command or exclamation" , "Conjuror's exclamation at the climax of a trick" .)
