Morphology

mind-blower = mind + blow (transparent) = mind + blow + er

Clear formation from the compound 'mind' + 'blow' with the agentive suffix '-er' meaning 'one/thing that blows the mind'; the metaphorical sense of 'blow' = 'astonish' is common.

Etymology

Mind-blower comes from the two simple words mind and blow, like the phrase 'to blow your mind'. Imagine a sudden strong wind that surprises you and carries things away; a mind-blower is something so surprising or impressive it feels like your mind is blown, which is why it means a very amazing or shocking thing.
