Definition
神奇 describes something that seems magical or miraculous, as if by supernatural power — it emphasizes awe-inspiring wonder. Unlike 神秘 (mysterious, hidden), 神奇 focuses on an obviously wondrous quality; and it suggests a stronger supernatural sense than 奇妙 (wonderful, fantastic), which is more about delightful strangeness.
