Electrified Text Effect

This Tutorial is From Ljudkort.net

Start off by creating a new document. I used size 500 px x 150 px

Then add a black background, and the text you want - A fat text like the one I use gives the best effect:

Now duplicate the textlayer:

Select the first text layer:

And add Filter - Stylize - Wind

Accept!

Select From the left, then press OK. Repeat this step, but use "From the right" instead once more.

The result of this action should look like this:

Now rotate the canvas as in the image:

Then perform the "Wind" step again, just as you did earlier.

Then rotate it back once this is done, as in the image:

Now select the copied layer again:

And add these layerstyles:

Create a new layer:

Now make a selection like in the image, and then fill this with white, opacity 30%:

Then select the copied layer again:

Select everything but the text using the magic wand - NOTE SPACES INSIDE THE LETTERS!

Then select the previous layer again, and press delete to remove all the white outside the text:

Now duplicate the layer that you modified with wind to get a heavier effect on it:

Now you should have a result somewhat like this!
