Didn't Feynmann said that he sometimes seemed magical because he just had 'different toolbox' than his friends? As far as I remember these words regarded calculus. Probably I am more wrong than Mark Kac in this matter, but I think that this kind of orthogonal thinking can be somehow learned by looking in the directions that at first glance doesn't look like they lead to any solution or even unrelated. Also it seems that great knowledge of two seemingly disconnected areas allow to actually find some connections between them - which may seem magical for spectators.
