	Sonics are a category of tricks in which the fingerslot transfer of a fingerswitch is fully accompanied by a conical charge. They often, but not always, end in a different slot than the one they started in. Sonics are among the most versatile and common tricks as they are compatible with almost any style and easily integrate with and hybridize with other trick families. They are also a rich source to use as a diversifying tool as they range from being simple to complex and extremely difficult, with more variations yet to be discovered especially in the field of xpxh.

	The first time that the name sonic clip is seen is in November 2003, in PenstudioZ. It doesn’t appear on the Pentix trick names table, so it originated some time between 2001 and 2003, but the creator is unknown. The Japanese term スリップトソニック (slipped sonic) may be younger, as it doesn’t appear in any of the trick lists from Crasher (2001).

			This trick is used in a minicombo called '''Rising Fans''' which was created by Tohlz. He explained it in his website, and he included it inside his signature move HyperSonic 2. The minicombo consists of the following:

			charge 34 > sonic clip 34-23 > charge 23> sonic clip 23-12 > charge 12

			The trick is also used in a '''Devil's Conversion''' where it consists of a devil sonic, and while the pen is spinning over 12, change from PD to PU while bending the fingers and continue doing a knuckle spin, without any additional impulse (just the inertia of the pen). A reverse version of this trick was shown by Le0n as '''Reconversion''', however he only performed PU knuckle spin rev ~ PD shadow rev in that video without finishing the devil's sonic rev.

			In 2017, OhYeaH! expanded upon the tipped sonic, applying various modifiers to create even more variations and posted them onto Youtube<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKasXyknpV4 Tipped Sonic video by OhYeaH!]</ref>. In that same year, he also submitted a combo comprised entirely of these tipped sonic variations for Pen Spinning World Tournament 2017<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NDQHv0XRFs OhYeaH!'s WT17 R1 featuring tipped sonics for the entire combo]</ref>.

			Bonkura made a popular variation of this trick in which, while the mod was hidden behind the hand, he spread out his fingers to enhance the illusion of the pen having disappeared. Then, coming back to the initial position, the pen reappears and the trick is finished.

			It was called アイソニックを超えるアイソニック (iSonic beyond iSonic) jokingly by Bonkura, but the name was used even a year and a half after that. Since Bonkura attended Kyoto University, it was also called 京大式アイソニック (Kyoto University-style iSonic). Another name was 真パーフェクト·アイ (true perfect I), which later was simplified to the current most popular name, パーフェクトアイ (perfect I)

The side additive is applied to a sonic variation when the center finger (or at least one of the those fingers) is inverted during execution.
