Damm near impossible I'd say, apparently the secret is a good x-fader and years of practice, but I can't scratch for toffey !!!

just takes practice. if you have a spair mixer, just sit with it and practice. if you have a difficult time with 3 fingers try it with 2 initially. then work your way up to 4 
it's much easier to do on a battle mixer.

I can actually do it, I didn't have me speakers loud enough so all i could hear was the fader clickin, but when i turned me speakers up loud enough i could hear the scratch 
Its not perfect by anyway but its a start, at least i know its not impossible lol
ps. is there anyway to make a cross fader looser cos mines a wee bit stiff??

there should be a screw on you cross fader unscrew it anti clockwise and move your cross fader back & forth til it frees up a bit, if this does not work u may need to buy a new 1, u dident spill anything on it i hope like coffee or lemonade this wud cause this to happen...
as for scratchin im just getin the hang of it
EVEN IF SHE AINT LEGAL

No, i haven't damaged it, its just a shitty Behringer mixer and the fader is a bit tight, i heard spraying WD-40 on it loosens it up, does that work?

I wouldn't recommend using wd-40. if you want to spray it, go with something along the lines of pro gold. your other options would be to constantly move it back and forth to try and loosen it up, try buying another brand of crossfader (if you can find one that will fit), or probably the best option...buy a better mixer

You need a super smooth crossfader to do it.
