Shazzam is a dated slang of the 80s. From the cartoon "Shazzam". Don't use it. It either shows your age or that you learnt it from outdated sources.

Compelling means overpowering, very convincing, irresistable. So a compelling story would be a story that the listener would very much believe in and it might even "force" the listener to take an intended action. "I have a compelling reason why you should buy a Toyota not a Honda." "I am compelled to ask you to leave the room."
Shazzam! - this means WOW!! So, to experience a shazzam! means to experience something that you never believed could happen. "I just won the lottery - shazzam!". "I was walking down the street, turned the corner and shazzam!, a million dollars was on the ground right in front of me."

A compelling story is a very interesting story that keeps your attention completely. Regarding shazzam... I have no idea. Sorry. Maybe some native speaker will tell us what it means.
