I'm writing a story that is told from the perspective of multiple people. What is the best and cleanest way to switch between perspectives? Will just starting a new paragraph or chapter that begins with the new character's name suffice?

i would just write it out. you can't go a whole chapter without referencing the character's name regardless.
i prefer not to hand hold my reader through things.

separated by chapters, without any indication as to who is the new POV beyond narrative context and dialogue.
it's the cleanest and least obstructive way imo.
If your characters are well developed it shouldn't be a problem for the reader

'Yes,' thought James, a half-reflection in a shotgun is not a good omen.

As if by magic, the scene receded and leapt across the lake as gypsy-type music played. You find yourself reading about Davis now.

wowlol
you're asking /lit/ to tell you what stylistic choices to make, so you're not doing the work yourself, so the story will probably suck.
read the waves and then kill yourself
