Is there away (annotation or any other method) to hide methods from Intellisense.

You can use an interface to describe a reduced contract. Anything not described in the interface would effectively be hidden from auto-complete even though it is available on the class. This gives you the flexibility to decide when you want access to the property.

interface IReducedInterface {
    name: string;
}

class ExpandedClass implements IReducedInterface {
    public name: string;
    public hideFromIntellisense: string;
}

var example: IReducedInterface = new ExpandedClass();

If you type example. it will suggest name but not hideFromIntellisense.

You don't need to explicitly implement IReducedInterface as TypeScript is structurally typed.

I don't recommend this. But you can always walk into JavaScript, and typescript would not know: 

class Test{
    member:string;

    visible(){
        this.member='visible';
    }
}

(<any>Test.prototype).notvisible = function(){ this.member ='notvisible'; }

Try it

Alternatively you could mark the function as private.

class Test{
    member:string;

    visible(){
        this.member='visible';
    }
    private notvisible(){
        this.member ='notvisible';
    }
}
