Feature of stage act? Compre's introduced a good one (5)

I believe the answer is:

magic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a good one' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'feature of stage act? compre's introduced' is the wordplay.
'feature of stage act?' becomes 'magi' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'introduced' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'compres' is 'c'.
'magi'+'c'='MAGIC'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for magic that I've seen before include "Marvellous" , "Unexpectedly produce" , "Tricks" , "Sprinkling of fairy dust" , "Witchcraft" .)
