This guy somehow made a text look 3D with a few layers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=790FksaDu7A

My question is in the video, how did he manage to move all the layers down to make it look 3D, can anyone tell me?

To save people time it may help if you give a time in the video your question occurs at.

If you are talking about the opening part try this:

- Create your text and make sure it's the way you want to have it.
- Edit -> Transform -> Perspective and tuck the upper corners in. (You'll need to do this to have the second part work the way it works, which kinda is the shortcoming of this technique.)
- Now duplicate the text layer and fill it with on other colour. Move this layer below your original text layer.
- Ctrl+T and push the down arrow to nudge it down, enter to confirm the confirmation (the Ctrl+T is in there for a reason, so don't try to short cut it).
- Ctrl + Alt + Shift + T ; hit that shortcut a couple of times, to your liking really.
- Merge all the bottom layers
- Apply layer styles to the top layer and bottom layer to your liking (seen amoung else a satin / contour / bevel on the original layer and a stroke on the bottom layer).

Hope this helps you out.
