I think it comes from having a strong passion for the art that you're creating. When you really love your art it shows in the work itself and other people pick up on it. Lots of commercial artists create art that they dont like just to pay the bills. The result is usually art with no passion that is lacking any "magic" as you put it. Passion might not be there for people that are still beginners or intermediates either because they have expectations about the final product and this only leaves them disheartened. The best way to be is to just love the process and not care if what you're working on doesn't turn out to be a masterpiece. If you love creating art you'll put 100% into it anyways and more often then not surprise yourself at how good it turns out.
