A special conductive suit and wires along fingers.  This is not something 
to approach casually.  There are probably a half dozen people in the world 
who do this professionally (and live to tell about it on a continuing basis)


If you don't need to have a live body, you could easily rig a mannikin with 
wires (or even clothing stuffed with something to look like a body).
