This is a technique that I've been working on the last few weeks that may or may not help you out. I hang out with several AFCs who are wannabe alphas who always try to hold court and to take frame. They CONSTANTLY will just dominate any conversation they are in, and it can be kind of hard to maintain your frame when the other guys in the circle are AMOGing against each other hardcore. So, without stepping on (many) toes, I've started using this little trick to maintain frame control and make it clear that *I* am the AMOG:
When guys are dominating or "holding court" for an extended amount of time, I'll work to steal the frame by first dropping totally out of the conversation. I'll gaze off into the distance, and then shake myself out of it and I'll start up a conversation with one other member of the group (not the target yet). It's got to be something INTERESTING, though, not any old crap will do, use some good opener or hell, even a snapple fact. If you get their attention, which you should, slowly increase the volume...not to appear like you're stealing the conversation, just to appear that it's natural that you should be talking about what you are talking about. If you do it right, pretty soon the entire group will be discussing YOUR topic. You've just stolen the frame and have the whole group in your frame again.
That's the simple technique, but it gets better. Once you've gotten the entire group into your frame, the other guys will start trying to dominate the conversation *again*, this time using your material. Let them. Just drop out of the conversation, and then turn to another person in the group (not the target, and not the person you turned to orignally) and steal the frame again using that other person. Now everyone knows that you are the true alpha of the group, because you've proven that you direct the conversation. The third time, when you start changing the topic of conversation, turn to the target. If she's been giving you IOIs, which she should, this is the perfect time to isolate. Instead of gradually raising your voice and getting the group involved, lower your voice and turn away from the group. This will pull the girl into your frame (she's used to being in your frame now, since you've mastered the group frame at least twice), and effectively close out the rest of the group. Turn your back on the group, and blam, there you are in isolation with the target.
I've done a bit of field testing with this, and unless it's just my good looks it seems to work very well.
