Your pocket is bottom right.

Yep. Though I'd also try to follow the 9 behind the 13…
It wouldn't break my heart if the nine went in with the 13.

Just curious, why wouldn't you mind both balls going in on your shot?
You need only 1 ball, why put 2 balls in play for your opponent?
Good point. Back to my first shot. Leave the 9 and cue ball on the end rail.
The high risk shot is using the 13 to deflect the 9 so it runs down towards your corner.
The low risk shot is to bounce the 9 off the end rail and again off the long rail 1 diamond from the pocket with right spin on CB.

I'd agree it's riskier, but wouldn't really call it "high risk".
2 rail the ball to my pocket
play the cueball to hit below near his pocket so the cue ball end up in the kitchen but on the same side as the object ball
makes a return bank if you miss more dificult
i could use low right and end up on the side by the ball in the corner

Play the 9 off the 13 hard, so the 9 goes towards your hole. 13 goes in the hole and spots up. Drift CB forward a couple inches, or stop it dead (depending on exact angle).

A better drawing for my shot. If CB and 9 balls are frozen, or there is as slight gap on either one, would affect how the first ball was hit slightly, and what could be done with the CB.
I don't like this. Opponent will then just bunt in the 9 ball, spot it behind the 13, and now you are frozen on the end rail dealing with both balls on the spot. If you mis-hit the safety, you can sell out a straight in shot on one of the two balls.
I don't play one pocket so I might be wrong here - but if I only need one ball and my opponent needs two, wouldn't I want to leave myself two options (given that we are probably 50/50 to make each ball if we don't make mistakes).
Bank the 9 ball two cushions to your pocket. Use low right on the cue ball. It will go three rails to end by the 13 or maybe put it in. You don't really want to make the 13 but it can prevent the only scratch you have to worry about.
BBB's diagram is wrong. The cue ball will not go that long if you make the 9 ball.

Let's say some way you play one of the suggested shots to get the 9 ball towards your hole. It doesn't go in, you leave an across corner bank, the player makes it. Now, He has to deal with the 13 hanging in the pocket first. If he makes it, it gives You the first option to play an offensive or defensive shot. If he decides to try and leave the 13 around that pocket, now You have the opportunity to 'corner-hook' or tip-tap the CB again.
I think we're where we need to be for the reveal.
I did shoot the bank on the 9 ball. It's a 'natural' 3 cushion shot with the CB.
Half ball hit with extreme 3 O'clock English.
BTW, this in on a 5'x10' GC1.

The video cut out. It did look like the ball was going and the cue ball was staying on the table. Nice shot. It looks like an extra coat of paint on the balls and you would have double kissed.
