People are visible because light hits them. Therefore, if you could bend light around you, the light would not hit you and therefore you would be invisible. There would be some distortion involved since the light would leave a warped mark around where the person is to make what's on the other side visible, but if the people looking for you did not know what to look for and if you could kept the distortion down, you would have about litterally disapeared into thin air.
