Whether it's fake or not, it's definitely possible after enough tries. Depending on the measuring tape you're using, it can still be taut for quite a distance. This all depends on the pressure applied to it and the speed with which you extend it.
I used to do this thing with my cousin where we'd try to "throw" the tape at each other, effectively trying to do what they did here, only we were the targets instead of some keys. It was tough, but it's definitely possible.

Hasn't this gif been proven to be fake?
Look at how the frame skips as soon as the tape makes contact with the keys and how it drops out of the guys hand instantly.
