Funky Text Effect
Now merge the three text layers.
Select the move tool 
and hit Alt-Up arrow about ten times. The text layer will be duplicated and moved one pixel up each time you hit the Alt-Up combination.
Make the top layer invisible
and go to Layers -> Merge Visible Layers
Then apply a gradient overlay style on the merged layers
Finally flatten the image and you should have something like the image posted on top of the post

After your step where I merged Visible Layers, I have locked layer.
and go to Layers -> Merge Visible Layers
So, I am not able to maek next step
Then apply a gradient overlay style on the merged layers
There is locker sign on the layer and when I bring the mouse to, tip says “Indicated layer is partialy locked”

Hi, Ilijas. You should still be able to apply a gradient overlay on the merged layers even if they are partially locked.
