Morphology
The meaning 'an event that feels enchanting or unforgettable' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'magical' (enchanting, wondrous) with 'experience' (an event or occurrence). This simple adjective + noun composition follows normal English semantics and cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the phrase meaning.
Etymology
The expression magical experience may come from the image of a magician on stage making surprising things happen, so the people watching feel wonder and joy. That's why a magical experience means something that feels 'wonderful' and 'unforgettable'.
