Amazing, your correct, the wire is the ground. The electrode is positioned in the nozzles, and charge the fluid particles at that point. The mist within the booth can then be considered a charged cloud which surrounds the customer. As the customer is standing on the grounded plate, they represent the opposite potential, which then provides for the 'attraction of unlike charges'. Interestingly, the booth itself, being made of plastic, has the ability to contain the charge within the mist cloud. Metal constructions would quickly conduct the charge away, eliminating the effect.
Miss Vani-T mentioned the polarized rod. Such a device would represent a finite amount of energy stored within (on) such an object, typically being placed there by either mechanical or electrical means. It now approximates a storage device. Upon holding it, that energy would be available to do work, ie; attract dislike charges. However, the energies typically stored in such devices are very small, and the charge potential would dissipate quickly. Holding a polorized rod my actually have the opposite effect as 'like' charges repel.
In the Mystic system, the charge is maintained by a power supply so that freshly charged mist is introduced into the booth which provides continuous energy for the 'mechanics' of attraction. Excuse me for being so 'wordy'.

Great explanation! Question though. Wouldn't the extremities of the body (ie hands, feet and face) attract more of the "charged" solution?
