Except ....
When you reflect polarised light off the polished pole of an electro magnet the polarisation is changed if the magnet is energised.
See also the way that satellite dish's LNB's use a coil to affect the polarisation of the signal they receive - not visible light but electromagnetic waves of a different frequency.
Not quite the bending of light waves by magnets but a magnetic effect on electromagnetism nonetheless.
