It was actually Elrond who performed that feat. Whether his ring, Vilya, aided him in this, or if he was just in touch with the river, it is uncertain. Galadriel did not recognize Sam's reference to magic because to the elves it would just seem like part of life - not a magic trick. Elves were very different from men in that.
