I went to my local Dollar Tree and the had these cool looking tiki style plastic cups, they were just about the size of a standard C&B cup, but without the (i forget the term) ring around it. They were in a pack of three. They seemed pretty cool but I didn't get them. I should have though.
This is the store that sells the fantasma cards and sets, so who knows. Maybe they like magic.

Check Wal-Mart for this kind of cup. They sell them with shoulders, so they don't stick together. Usually, you get four for a buck. Also, Party City carries similar cups in all sorts of motifs.
Sometimes the Dollar Store is more expensive than the specialty shops.

I bought these at BB&B for &2 or $3 each. They load a baseball, nest with three 1 1/8" balls between them and look like "Real" Cups and Balls cups. Keep looking and you can get lucky.

Another veiw of the same cups. There is a vague similarity to Paul Fox Cup with the additional shoulder beads. These cups nest with no wobble whatsoever. I have taken a little of the rim off the bottom (Top? Foot?) since these pictures were taken. I had no problems with it before doing it, but I was bored and had access to a lathe.

Styrofoam cups are great for impromptu work, as long as there isn't much wind.

Linens and Things might have those cups, they are owned by the same company I think. The look really nice. I want a set.
Do you have a picture of them without the bottom?

No. Linens and Things is a privately held corporation.

The best solution is to search many stores that have cups & decor cups ,look at them see how well they nest with enough space required for what you need to hide. I tryed that myself at the hobby lobby
