    Classic fishing line trick. Never the less sweet

    Showmanship is one thing, bending your record in half is another. Sorry, I don't get it. I get everything else you just said, but bending a record in half seems silly to me. A master chef doesn't shoot ketchup all over the kitchen to put on a show.
    nope.

    Though mixologists (bartenders) will unnecessarily throw bottles through the air just to poor a drink.

    Do me a favor... go learn to do a scribble or chirp. Then after you've learned it, try doing it while bending the record the same way swamp does. Then after that, report back to this thread and post about how silly you were being, and how now you understand what I was saying.

    Lol at all the people saying it's inexcusable to bend a record like that when he probably cuts the shit out of it on a daily basis.

    And besides, it's safe to say that most records used in a showcase like that aren't some super valuable white labels or dubs or some shit.

    Oh and for the record (pun intended) I thought his fishing line trick was cheesy as fuck.

    LOL I love how this thread got heated really quick! I think its cool how he has like 3 records on the same deck and just kinda pulls em off and tosses em without missing a beat and keeps on scratching.

    It's called invisible thread. Magicians use it, I guess you can use it for a vinyl too apparently.

    i thought that was pretty cool... as to "why" well "why not"? don't think there needs to be more of a non-reason than that
