Go to Effects>3D>Drop Shadow,
and apply the following:
*Offset Vertical: 4

Ok.
*Optional*
Add the tube I used or one of your choice,
duplicate and change the "blend mode" to "overlay"
as we did on the top (black) text layer.
*Notice that I resized the tube and colorized it.
Go to Colors>Colorize *Hue 35 *Saturation 159),
and lower the Opacity to 30.
Effects>Sharpen (if needed), and apply
the same 3D>drop shadow that we just used
on our text layer.
Layers>Merge>Merge Visible.
File>Save As>OverlayTag, (save as pspimage.)
Open AS, go to File>Open>OverlayTag.
Add a lil' sparkle or leave it as it is.
Have fun!
Crop and save as a gif file.
