13:45 …..the moment you realize that scammers….eeeerrr magicians….. yeah, you're not seeing the thing they don't want you to see. You're seeing EXACTLY what they don't want you to see. It's this skill that just… It's fun, and you'd be lying if you said this wasn't something that also entertained you.
