I'd like to support Alvin on his great post.
I'm also NLP master practitioner and my experience with hypnosis was rather extensive. It is nothing special really, if you cut out marketing hype. And you can as easily do self-hypnosis. It can be real handy in the everyday life. I've used self-hypnosis to fall asleep fast and to wake up without an alarm clock. I've used it to reduce long lasting pain. It is great for long waits when you have to kill some time. I never used it consciously on other person without first getting their expressed permission. I've used it to change beliefs and to enter certain states of mind helpful for learning or using certain skills.
There are other ways to achieve the same results, however.
You wouldn't call them hypnosis, because they do not match the classical description. But in a wide sense, any trance-inducing experience is a form of hypnosis.
