Well, you're asking about the man's feelings so this wouldn't mean he sees her as the Magician. It would be that he's the Magician looking at her, in my opinion. Therefore, you're basically asking "How would the Magician see this woman?"
Considering that that's the question, I think he'd be seeing her in light of what type of person she is and how he can best use his Magician's tools and flim flam skills to impress her in order to achieve whatever it is he wants to achieve from her or his relationship to her. Does he want a sexual relationship with her? Then he'd be sizing her up and considering how he could achieve that. Does he want money from her? Then he'd be considering and sizing up how he could use his skills to get her to give him money. Does he want a lasting relationship with her that might include marriage? Then he'd be figuring out how he could impress her that, even though he's got these flim flam, illusionary skills to impress the public, he's really serious about her and about having a lasting relationship with her.
