fun puzzle

There are three magicians performing a fantastic trick.  The trick is as follows: They stand in a circle with their eyes closed.  Then 3 audience will put the number 1, 2, or 3 on each of their forehead.  Each magician then open their eyes, and see the number on the forehead of the other two magicians, but not their own number.  Without any communication, they each write simultaneously on separate sheets of papers what they think their numbers are, and then reveal the 3 papers at the same time to the audience.

Then BAM!! AT LEAST ONE of them will be right about his number.  How can this be??? How can it possibly be that you look at 2 random numbers and make some conclusion about another random number???

Solutions will be posted…. Hmm…. Given the irregularity of my postings, at least a week after…??
