Can't you see the transaction go through the block chain anyways?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

How does a "Mixer" work?

Bitcoins sent anonymously are not sent directly to the recipient instead they are routed through a shared wallet. After careful analysis the funds are swapped for clean or "un-tainted" coins found from either the shared mixing wallet or from blockchain.info's private wallet. The clean coins are forwarded to the destination address and the original coins remain in the shared wallet thereby severing any relationship between the input address and the destination address.
