Compressed sensing isn't even magic, if you're halfway versed in signal processing. I understood compressed sensing within 30 seconds of hearing a general overview of it, and there are many related analogs in many fields.

The convex optimization guys I know are all rather impressed by compressed sensing- but that may be because they specialize in doing L1 and L2 problems, and so compressed sensing makes the things they're good at even more important.
