Both Feynman and Einstein had a terrific physical intuition, but Feynman had more of an appearance of one since he was quite a showman, whereas for Einstein it was essentially his core asset.

Feynman also had incredible facility with calculation: he was one of the first Putnam fellows. He left the exam early!

As much as I admire Feynman, the stories about his magician qualities are, honestly, so far beyond most people and end up being more entertaining than inspiring.
