Morphology
The meaning 'to seem wonderfully surprising or extraordinary' is directly derivable from composing 'feel' (to experience) + 'like' (similar to) + 'magic' (supernatural power): i.e. 'feel similar to magic' → 'seem magical'. This is a straightforward simile using the common 'feel like X' pattern, which is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words can readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Feel like magic brings to mind a magician waving a hand and making something ordinary suddenly amazing, linking feel (how something seems) with magic (a surprising change). That's why it means 'to seem wonderfully surprising or extraordinary'.
