An easier way to flip txt vertically>> After duplicating txt layer, then choosing duplicated layer, move txt below the word and go to Layers>Transofrm>Flip Verticaly. You’ll see that you just elimanated an extra step in flipping the word for the upside down mirror effect.

That was cool. Try lowering the opacity of the reflection though so it looks more like a reflection instead of just the letters flipped upside down.
