Version:
If you mean "record" as in "set a new record or new standard for performance" then hold out your non-dominant flat hand, palm down, (lay it in front of you in the air, pointing off to your dominant side. Then take your dominant hand and form it into a fist and hold your dominant forearm in the air a couple inches above the non-dominant hand and quickly, firmly bring the elbow down onto the back of the palm-down non-dominant hand (think of planting a flag).

Version:
If you mean "record" as in "my grandma likes to listen to vinyl records," then hold out your non-dominant flat hand, palm up.  Make an "X-hand" with your dominant hand. Use the "X-hand" like a "needle" (old fashioned record arm) and circle it around the non-dominant hand as if representing the turning of a record on a record player.
